I really think reporting of election results should be illegal until a large majority of ballots have been counted. At least 75%. Maybe 90%? Someone smarter than me can figure out where that line is. It’ll never happen, of course, because the fake horse race of watching results come = clicks&ratings

Medicine. Medicine has grown by leaps and bounds. You cannot introduce vaccines that crater cancer rates, cure AIDS, and cure sickle cell, and then tell me things have only gotten worse. Also: Food. To a HUGE degree. I eat what I once considered rare treats every day, now.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

air travel is one of those experiences that has gotten monotonically worse over my entire lifetime

question though: has *anything* in the last 40+ years genuinely gotten *better*?

like, there's *more* stuff, sure, but is any of it *better*?

Operation Lightspeed saved millions of lives in the US and around the world. It's a gimme victory lap for Trump. Absolutely crazy that they'd rather do the lie than celebrate the win. They don't know how to not do the chaos conspiracy.

It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

My neighbor across the street got burglarized and he said the cops literally said "we're on to these guys" after saying "they've hit 20 houses in the area" and then he asked why they were able to hit 20 houses if the cops were "on to these guys" and that was the end of the investigation lol

Not me on the sidewalk seeing the hottest personal trainer at my gym walking down the sidewalk carrying a present with pride flag wrapping paper. Nothing about him previously made me suspect he was on our team. Don’t give me ideas!! Don’t give me notions!!

When I saw that the new Vampire the Masquerade edition didn't have hunger dice, I kind of knew in my heart I wouldn't be making the transition. I like v5 very much, and I don't want to move on from it. I was hoping for more of a v5.5 to refine some of the jank, not throw it all in the trash. #vtm

It's Kate Bush's birthday so here are my Kate Bush Hot Takes - Lionheart is a more interesting (thus better) album than The Kick Inside - The first three tracks on 50 Words for Snow are the best work she's ever released

Resisting urge to smash my new iPhone when I’m chirpily told I can now ask Siri to use ChatGPT to do things it’s not even well suited for. Thank goodness this is a thing I can turn off, but I’m annoyed it exists at all, and boy does the language in this menu piss me the fuck off

Apple Intelligence toggled to "off", prompting the message "Time to experience the next generation of intelligence now integrated into the core of iOS, bringing you a powerful and personalized intelligence" 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
